at search engines, said Daniel Brandt at Google-Watch, one year ago.
While he doesn't mention copyright as one reason, I agree completely. In my view, copyright requires opt-in already.
It took Europe a couple of years to reach opt-in as a countermeasure to the spam nuisance (Article 13 of the telecommunications data protection Directive).
It might take a couple of years as well to reach opt-in to deal with the search engines.
